The best spaces become part of your everyday rhythm.

What happens here

The builder uses a measuring tool, likely a ruler or straightedge, and a marking tool such as a pencil or chalk marker, to precisely draw lines on the composite decking boards. These lines serve as critical guides, indicating the exact locations where pocket holes will be drilled. This preliminary step is essential for achieving accurate and consistent placement of the pocket holes, which in turn ensures a strong and square frame assembly for the daybed.

Goal: Measure and mark lines on composite decking boards to guide the placement of pocket holes, ensuring accuracy for assembly.
